Why Conservation?

​

There was a time in America when the natural world seemed limitless.
With time came enormous change.
Today, the preservation of natural land depends on us.

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
